Firstly to need to include the datachunk so people can look at the build. You will need much more then 65 mill. Finally I will say whats the point in playing a class where you're damage mitigation is defense, and not softcapping? But then I don't know what your intentions are, as you have not stated whether you want pvp or PvE

You don't need the Datachunk nowadays if you've Mids on your system, click the link towards the top and it will download the build & open it in Mids for you, just tell the Browser to 'Open With' Mids (Mids should appear in your Programs list one you've chosen "Open With").
I still dont understand why people make offensive tanks tbh. Surely thats a scrappers job?
anyway back to the point at hand, i recommend using two builds and taking weave in one and going for capped defence, because otherwise you will find yourself dying a lot in teams, and for a tank thats not particularly helpful.
Well, there are obviously some differences between SS and Mace as secondary, but take a look at the differences between yours and mine. Not making any judgements, simply giving you a comparison to think about...

With the sets that I have, I am running _massive_ End recovery (3.59/sec), my defences are all in excess of 40% solo (1 person stood within range pumps everything over the 45% soft-cap), and my damage is silly for a tank (around 60dps vs single target, ranging to 200+dps against large mobs due to the AoE attacks).
As I say, SS has different requirements to WM, but the shield side of things has worked out for me pretty well... 
Hope it helps!
And why do people make 'offensive tanks'? (Is that a tank who mouths off a lot?)... because scrankers are wonderful to solo, and if their tank powers are up to scratch then why not maximise their damage output as well? It all helps to keep aggro off the squishies :P

That's the way I'm approaching Tanking. I will be relying more on my Teamies to keep me alive but I should have the hate of every damn enemy in sight (within reason). Granted I am using the build for a organised team, I wouldn't expect it to work as well on a PuG of Death where I was -4 to all the enemies.
Shield Tanks get a decent +Damage power and an excellent AOE 9 levels earlier than Scrappers (plus it does the same damage). Why not leverage those strengths. Not to mention Scrappers can't even get SS of course 
*Edit : Actually I thought of another reason, AT Stacking on teams. It's generally a widely acknowledged fact that multiple Tanks are probably the least "force multiplying" AT on a team, that more than one is generally considered less useful than any other AT. A more damage orientated Tank would allievate that somewhat since more Damage is always welcome on a team. Sure, they generally aren't going to beat a scrapper in terms of damage but at least they'll offer more in terms of versility than 2 heavily defense orientated ones. Especally Tanks with more AOEs to leverage.

Again refering to earlier post though, if you want to solo surely a scrappers better anyway? and if your wanting to tank and deal damage, ok i can understand to some extent, but when it comes to sacrificing tanking skill for more damage thats what I dont agree with.
Tanks take hits, scrappers deal them. Most of the time a well setup scrapper can out last a scranker anyway, ive seen plenty of ice and shield 'tanks' fall in a few seconds of entering a mob because they try to play all out damage. Agreed you often get situations where two tanks arent needed, and that point its nice to have damage yes, but surely thats what a second build is for?
The point I'm argueing is unless your pvping, there shouldnt really be any sacrifice of defence/resists for damage as a tank because you just end up poor at both and a scrapper ends up better.
So that being said, as a shield tank i think your main focus should be soft-capping your defence, not maximizing damage.
I had a quick tinker with what I'd change slotting wise. I'd build different with power choices and power order for sure and so for quickness this is without any of that factored in.
Overall:
Well I upped your hp slightly, rounded the defense down towards soft cap or up to it depending on the position. I upped end rec slightly and lowered end costs dramatically, toggles slightly, attack chain dramatically. Some powers take a little while longer to recharge but the output to the endurance bar has increased.
Powers like Melting Armour just don't scream at me much as its rubbish -res over time for its end cost. I am thinking why not assault that's constantly on? Also the ring of fire is pants in comparison to earths for lack of range and so has limited uses that it needs any slotting for so I took advantage of that and milked slots from it.

I tend to think that all buffs even bonuses come at a cost so when it comes to enhancements or bonuses I like to simply have the minimum I can get away with and gain slots for elsewhere.

Well I made a build without tough and weave, but it still caps defence and then some, it also has a fairly high regen and low end usage.
I tried to keep purples out, but theres two apocalypses in there for the regen bonus, if need be can switch them anyway.

Cos you had 4 stamina slots in a row in that, I took it as incomplete and played with it cos once you've decided on what can go in them: the slots in other parts of the build can change.
One thing is that in knowing you don't need extra KB protection I thought I'd gain aoe soft cap another way rather than through zephyrs. Up your hp, up your end rec, lower your toggle costs and improve damage output.
Aid self could of done with an interrupt. I personally find it preferably versus tick rates. But anyway my version of that went like this:

If I looked at it longer I prolly would of done more I dunno.

yeah, agreed on the aid self part, but the bonus was on so thats why i went for that.
You dont need the KB protection but for a travel set the defence boost is nice. I cant remember what i put on stamina now tbh lol, think it was meant to have the chance for +end on but not sure.
Yours looks better though so agreed 
And as for mine... to slot Whirling Mace, I need to sacrifice slots elsewhere, which means sacrificing set bonuses. Given that I don't use WM all that much (as an AoE attack, it is worse than Shield Charge or Crowd Control, and I don't need it to 'round out' my attack chain unless I get slowed; thus, it is generally only used directly following a Shield Charge into the middle of a group of mobs), 2 slots works fine for me at the moment

I made one of these the other day so need to get about looking into them really.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Thanx for the help, sorry i havent been replying in the thread i initiated, it started off quite slow and i forgot about it.
I am Improving the offense because on dodgey SO's that garner just under 30% defense i can handle what ever i encounter, except Rularuu without buffs. upping the HP and soft capping defense will mean i will have very little trouble, and on 8 man TF's where it gets tough there is likely to be someone to buff or debuff, or a huge amount damage comeing from elsewhere. Dead mobs deal no damage. I know some people may not agree with a tank that is designed to hurt people, but keeping the whole team safe is a priority for me and would not consider a built that had a detremental effect, as said all builds can function on SO's so this should function even better. (i only run rage when everything is going smoothly, as that power is more detremental to tanking than any set bonus).
Also i wanted something very different from my lvl 39 stone tank that i haven't used in along time, something active.
Thankyou everyone for your advice, i didn't consider running Assault, but i might try and work that in. im not sure i need a third AoE when i potentialy Shield Charge every 30 seconds Footstomp every 9 both boosted by 19% damage in set bonuses and 10% from assault and 80% from rage.
Melt Armour after testing does seem a bit rubbish, and will have little effect on high lvl mobs and almost no effect on Avs. Also fire mastery doesn't fit thematically so i may reconsider.
I will work on a new build around the new slotting ideas, as although i use the search function in mids to find set bonuses i get distracted by shiny ones like obliteration.
edit.. i may take stone mastery, i hear salt crystals is good for grabbing agro, and can be used for cheap set bonuses and does ok -defense
Stone Prison and Quicksand are the two powers that make Earth Mastery sensational. Its the best mastery vs AVs whom you'd want more than the 30% def against at times "perhaps" but perhaps not if you master all the tricks with this epic.
I could just spell the tricks out but that takes away any opportunity for personal discoveries and so I'll shut up. V good epic anyway.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
I am currently lvl 47 and have started placing bids to get the items on this list, not necessarily all at 50 like the build shows, but cheaper ones in the low 40's or high 30's.
I have not taken tough or weave because i didn't particularly want to, preferred to keep more of the offense, and have achieved what i think is quite respectable defense without the fighting pool, but i am open to suggestions.
One thing i have noticed is that my Hp without one with the shield is high enough that that i don't think i would need it to often. so i could lose that and hasten (which was more of an after thought really) to help make way for the fighting pool.

So really what im wondering is, what you would change and why. I do not believe in anyway that this is a gimped build just one that could be better.
P.s i have some of these IO's already 65 million in funds, 501 merits and patience. that is my budget, so i don't thing i can throw in luck of that gamblers and defiantly no PVP IO's
P.s
On second thoughts i probably could slot LoTG just not the 7.5%
and i will likely change mocking bereavement for perfect, if only for the name zinger
